the requirement of two staff when transferring residents with a mechanical lift. Coach #370 stated she did
not complete a disciplinary action against STNA #352, did not provide education to any additional staff after
the incident, and did not do any audits on STNA #352 or other staff to ensure the appropriate process was
followed when using a mechanical lift.

her room, when she and STNA #352 returned to her room to complete the transfer to her wheelchair.

any education to STNA #352 at the time she found Resident #43 alone in her room in a mechanical lift
because the previous Administrator of the facility required all education and disciplinary action of STNAs to
be solely through Coach #370. The DON stated she informed Coach #370 of the incident regarding STNA
#352 using a mechanical lift without a second staff present. The DON further stated the current
Administrator was altering that expectation and allowing the DON to educate or complete disciplinary action
toward STNAs as appropriate.
The facility did not have a policy or procedure regarding the use of mechanical lifts.

Ensure menus must meet the nutritional needs of residents, be prepared in advance, be followed, be
updated, be reviewed by dietician, and meet the needs of the resident.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
observation, interview, record review, review of the facility recipes, and review of the facility menus, the
facility failed to follow menus as planned by not following recipes, by not using portioned serving utensils,
by not offering all menu items to each resident, and by not offering the main meal before offering a
nutritionally unequal alternative. This affected Resident #5 and Resident #34 and had the potential to affect
all residents in House 2 (#6, #8, #20, #32, #33, #40, #42, #43, #46, #47, and #59) and House 3 (#1, #16,
#18, #22, #26, #27, #37, #38, #48, and #49). The facility census was 58.
Findings include:
1. Review of the medical record for Resident #5 revealed an admission date of 12/10/18 with diagnoses
multiple sclerosis and type II diabetes mellitus.
Review of the quarterly Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment dated [DATE] revealed Resident #5's level of
cognition was not assessed. Resident #5 was on a therapeutic, mechanically altered diet and required
maximal assistance with all activities of daily living. Resident #5 was on hospice at the time of the review.
Review of the current physician order dated 01/08/24 revealed Resident #5 received regular diet with
pureed texture and thin liquids.
2. Review of the medical record for Resident #34 revealed an admission date of 12/23/22 with diagnoses of
epilepsy, hemiplegia and hemiparesis affecting right dominant side.

understood and required partial/moderate assistance for eating.
Review of a physician order dated 10/25/23 revealed Resident #34 received a regular diet with mechanical
soft textures and thin liquids.
Review of the current care plan for Resident #34 revealed no meal preferences.
Observation on 02/21/24 at 3:51 P.M. revealed State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) #304, in House 2,
preparing chicken fried rice for the evening meal.
Interview with STNA #304 on 02/21/24 at 3:51 P.M. revealed she did not follow a recipe to prepare the
chicken fried rice, but felt comfortable making it from her basic knowledge of cooking. Further interview and
observation revealed STNA #304 used a three-pound bag of chicken tenderloins. STNA #304 stated she
made three cups of rice and expected to use three eggs when assembling the meal. STNA #304 stated she
was preparing enough for approximately ten residents because Resident #43 usually ate waffles, and
Resident #34, on a mechanical soft diet, would receive Malt-o Meal (hot cereal) instead of the prepared
meal so she would not choke.
Interview on 02/21/24 at 4:19 P.M. with Dietetic Technician (DT) #337 and Registered Dietitian (RD) #379
revealed each House developed its own menu through a web-based menu program. The menu was
approved weekly by RD #379 or another RD who worked at the facility once weekly.

Continued interview with RD #379 confirmed the menu provided the expected portion size to provide to
residents to meet their nutritional needs. RD #379 confirmed if correct portions were not used, the facility
could not ensure each resident received the daily calorie and nutrient needs as estimated in the menu
program.
Continued interview with DT #337 stated a recipe book was available for staff, and if no recipe was
available, DT #337 would provide verbal guidance on meal preparation to the staff.
Observation and interview on 02/21/24 at 4:55 P.M. revealed STNA #304, in House 2, using a slotted silver
spoon to serve cauliflower and a slotted spatula to serve chicken fried rice. STNA #304 confirmed the
serving utensils were not intended to provide a specific portion size. STNA #304 stated she ultimately used
five eggs in the chicken fried rice.
Observation and interview on 02/21/24 at 5:00 P.M. with STNA #377 in House 3 revealed she made
meatloaf for dinner and did not use a recipe. STNA #377 stated she used three pounds of ground beef
when making the meatloaf. STNA #377 further stated there was a recipe available but she chose not to use
it. Additionally, STNA #377 confirmed she used a spatula to serve the mashed potatoes and a slotted
spoon to serve the mixed vegetables and neither tool was able to measure the quantity provided.
Observation on 02/21/24 at 5:22 P.M. revealed STNA #377 preparing a pureed meal for Resident #5. STNA
#377 pureed the meatloaf and provided a portion of mashed potatoes on Resident #5's plate. Interview at
that time with STNA #377 confirmed she did not puree the mixed vegetables and did not plan to provide
mixed vegetables to Resident #5 because she believed Resident #5 had plenty to eat with the meatloaf and
mashed potatoes.
Interview on 02/21/24 at 5:31 P.M. with STNA #304 revealed Resident #34 was on a mechanical soft diet
and STNA #304 had not yet prepared or served Resident #34. Continued observation revealed STNA #304
microwaving water and preparing Malt-o Meal for Resident #34. STNA #304 stated she planned to provide
a nutrition supplement with 240 kilocalories and 10 grams of protein along with the cream of wheat for the
evening meal.
Interview on 02/21/24 at approximately 5:40 P.M. with RD #379 confirmed the chicken fried rice and
cauliflower on the menu could be prepared to an appropriate mechanical soft texture and provided to
Resident #34. Observation at that time revealed a blender on the counter. Further interview with RD #379
revealed the substitution of Malt-o Meal and a nutrition supplement for the evening meal would be
appropriate if it was based on Resident #34's preference.
Follow-up interview on 02/21/24 at 5:44 P.M. with STNA #304 revealed STNA #304 did not offer Resident
#34 the main meal because Resident #34 had impaired cognition.
Review of the facility recipe for meatloaf for 12 servings revealed the portion of ground beef should be 4
and 3/4 cup and the recipe should also include one cup of ground pork.
Regarding the recipe for chicken fried rice, the facility provided a statement indicating the meal should have
come pre-packaged and cooked according to the directions on the bag.
